  • North West Introduction the North West Has an Area of Around 14,100 Km2 and a Population of Almost 6.9 Million
    North West Introduction The North West has an area of around 14,100 km2 and a population of almost 6.9 million. The metropolitan areas of Greater Manchester and Merseyside are the most significant centres of population; other major urban areas include Liverpool, Blackpool, Blackburn, Preston, Chester and Carlisle. The population density is 490 people per km2, making the North West the most densely populated region outside London. This population is largely concentrated in the southern half of the region; Cumbria in the north has just 24 people per km2. The economy The economic output of the North West is almost £119 billion, which represents 13 per cent of the total UK gross value added (GVA), the third largest of the nine English regions. The region is very varied economically: most of its wealth is created in the heavily populated southern areas. The unemployment rate stood at 7.5 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with the UK rate of 7.9 per cent. The North West made the highest contribution to the UK’s manufacturing industry GVA, 13 per cent of the total in 2008. It was responsible for 39 per cent of the UK’s GVA from the manufacture of coke, refined petroleum products and nuclear fuel, and 21 per cent of UK manufacture of chemicals, chemical products and man-made fibres. It is also one of the main contributors to food products, beverages, tobacco and transport equipment manufacture. Gross disposable household income (GDHI) of North West residents was one of the lowest in the country, at £13,800 per head.

Most learners attend the college from some of the most deprived neighbourhoods and make good progress, often making better progress than less disadvantaged learners in other colleges. The very large majority of learners complete their courses successfully and gain employment or continue their studies at the next level. Learners demonstrate good attitudes to learning as a result of the good development of their personal and social skills, through lessons and tutorials. The large majority of teaching, learning and assessment are good or better and the good support motivates learners to make good progress in lessons. Strong leadership has transformed the culture of this very large and complex college through comprehensive quality improvement, internal reviews, accurate evaluation of the quality of teaching, learning and assessment and strong performance management. Highly detailed and thorough strategic planning has taken excellent account of local and regional priorities to provide courses that respond to the needs of the communities served by the college. Very good promotion of equality and diversity leads to a strong culture of mutual respect and safety, supported by the strong contribution of a team of full-time youth workers. This is not yet an outstanding provider because: .
